"Poppycock?" Is that the First Lady's pet name for POTUS?

I so want that book - I have a weird passion for airships and autogyros and other such aviation dead ends. Though he barely mentions the R.101's sister ship, the R.100, which met all its performance targets and even flew to North America. Never had an accident either, but when the 101 crashed they dismantled it. In its own way, just as tragic.

Mine only blow up on the pad. A CATO, or Catastrophe At Take-Off.

Do they allow cheap acrylic bongs in Congress that vape nonsense wastes good smoke. Not efficient.

Isn't Hope Hicks like monumentally embarrassed that she bumped uglies with the Elephant Man President. Yikes Gross. How will she live it down. Even that ho Ivanka will be talking shit about her. Even Omarosa and who the fuck is she?

No, but Ivanka's?... DEFINITELY...

How do we now Hope Hicks and DJT never got down? Because she's still in his orbit. She's smart enough to know that once she gives in, he'll dump her.

"There was some sad stuff about Hunter having to sell his house to pay back all the money he stoled from his campaign, and his wife and kids moving in with Hunter’s parents. And while we do feel sorry for the Hunter kids, it’s tempered by the fact that their father goes to work every day trying to cut the safety net out from under kids whose parents don’t have a campaign credit card to fall back on when money gets tight."

To which I would add: or grandparents who own a house large enough to house their daughter-in-law and grandchildren. Thanks, $5F.

He’s mine. I’m so proud. Duncan the Younger and Dumber Hunter is stupid and entitled and if that reminds you of Gee fucking Dubya Boosh, you would be correct. The rural yokels from East SD County are his base and they suck.

He’s bought and paid for by the defense contract guys. His father did the legwork when he had the seat. Duncan the Elder was Duke Cunningham’s mentor. He never taught Duke or Dwayne here to be subtle.

Economic anxiety right there.

"Duncan Hunter" sounds like something that would be spat out of a Douchebro Name Generator.

"would regularly go to the Capitol Hill Club, a Republican hangout, to drink beer, sometimes during the day"

To be fair, I have beer lunches 2 or 3 times a week, and I'm not even a "bro". On the other hand, I have to go back to work so I limit it to a single pint.

Nothing says “I’m innocent of breaking rules and stealing campaign funds” like vaping during federal hearings and selling your damn house and moving in with Gumpa and Nana to repay those very campaign funds.
